better picture of how you should set them up to maximize your Adwords success:

into action. Structure each campaign around just one goal. E.g.

Picking The Right Keyword
Keywords are the guts of your ad campaign. They set the entire advertising
process in motion. If users are looking for your product or service, they’ll find you
more quickly if you’ve chosen the right keywords.
There are three basic steps to building
the right keyword list: expand, group, and
refine. Start small; you can always add
keywords later.
Above is an example of brainstorming
different keywords that relate to what
you offer.

13. Keyword
Step 1: Expand
Your first step is to come up with as many keywords relating to you campaign as
possible. What words would someone search for on Google comes to mind. You can
refine your list later.

14. After you have selected your keywords, you should move your keywords into the ad groups
where they’re most relevant. Remember to structure your ad groups in a way that makes
sense and is easy to track.

Step 3: Refine
Get your erasers or red pens out; it’s time to refine your keyword list. Cut from your
list keywords that are too generic, irrelevant, or obscure. Also look to remove
keywords that are too specific. Two- and three-word keyword phrases usually work
best.

keyword
 used book dealer
 buy used book
 used and rare book
 used book for sale
 Cheap used book

for any of these
queries

resonate with customers, write
three or four ads at one time.Then
check your clicks. The ads with the
highest click-through rates (CTR)
are your top performers. Once you

can rewrite poorly performing ads
so they’re more in line with the
good ones.
